Vintage ICGS Sarang gets new lease of life after overhaul at HSL
2
Visakhapatnam
: Hindustan Shipyard Limited (HSL) successfully delivered the 27-year-old vintage vessel ICGS Sarang on Thursday, after completing a complex Life Extension Refit three days ahead of schedule.
The vessel had docked at HSL on April 19 this year.
During execution, an unexpectedly large volume of additional work—about 35 per cent more than the original scope—emerged, along with the need to source numerous extra spares. All tasks were undertaken on a war footing, ensuring strict adherence to timelines, in close coordination with the
Indian Coast Guard
and business partners.
Key works included replacing stern tube and 'A' bracket bearings, renewing shaft tunnel hull boss plates without removing the propeller shaft, and installing nine new pumps with successful trials. Routines covered machinery, AC and refrigeration, fire-fighting, and fuel systems, along with renewing 12 tonnes of steel, overhauling 140 motors, 300 valves, and 46 pumps, and replacing 3 km of pipelines.
Delivering the vessel ahead of schedule showcases HSL's prowess in handling complex refits, powered by skilled manpower, efficient project management, and seamless coordination with the ICG and business partners.

Retired govt employee, brother lose Rs 4.4 cr in stock trading scam
Hyderabad: A 61-year-old retired govt employee and his 58-year-old brother were duped of 4.48 crore by fraudsters operating a fake stock trading portal. According to officials, the retired govt employee, a resident of Kothapet, clicked on a YouTube advertisement link about a stock marketing investment platform. Within hours of clicking the link, the victim began receiving WhatsApp messages and voice calls from individuals posing as Rajiv Mehta and his associates, Sana Kapoor and Krithika Joshi. The trio allegedly promised one month of VIP trading with zero commission for anyone who voted daily for Mehta in a purported 'World Finance Challenge' that carried an $8 million prize, which, they claimed, would be shared among supporters.

As per their advice, between June 24 and Aug 2, the victims transferred 4.48 crore in 23 transactions from their three bank accounts to multiple accounts provided by the accused. On Aug 2, when the balance on their account was displayed as 39 crore, the brothers decided to withdraw 2 crore to clear housing loan. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo However, the fraudsters demanded 3.5 crore as 'performance fee', contradicting their earlier promises of zero commission. Suspecting foul play, the brothers travelled to Bengaluru on Aug 6, where the original stock trading company's head office was located. "The company staff in Bengaluru informed us that the platform we used was fake, closely mimicking their company's URL. The fraudsters had even used the name of one of their former employee. After returning to Hyderabad, my brother suffered a stress-induced heart attack and was hospitalised for four days," said the 58-year-old in his police complaint. The victims filed an online complaint and submitted supporting bank statements, chat logs, and screen captures to TGCSB on Aug 14. An FIR was registered under Section 66D of the IT Act and Sections 318(4), 319(2), and 338 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

Double-decker flyover: Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd yet to get Rs 450cr from state
Bengaluru: Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) is yet to receive the Rs 450 crore reimbursement promised by the state govt in 2017-18 for the Yellow Line's double-decker flyover between Ragigudda and Central Silk Board. The design change was approved on the assurance that the govt would bear the cost of the road flyover component. The city's first double-decker flyover — built after demolishing the Jayadeva flyover — took years to complete. In July 2024, BMRCL partially opened the 5km road flyover from Ragigudda to Silk Board, including ramps built around the Silk Board junction, for motorists travelling towards Silk Board. According to sources, BMRCL has repeatedly sought reimbursement, including during high-power committee (HPC) meetings, but funds haven't been released. In Namma Metro projects, the state and central govts share costs, but road components within Metro projects fall under the state's responsibility. You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru | Gold Rates Today in Bengaluru | Silver Rates Today in Bengaluru Despite the pending payment, the state govt wants BMRCL to build 45km of double-decker flyovers under Phase III. The proposed stretches include Hebbal to JP Nagar 4th Phase along Outer Ring Road and Hosahalli to Kadabagere on Magadi Road. Phase III of Namma Metro is estimated to cost Rs 15,611 crore, with an additional Rs 9,000 crore required for the road flyovers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to allocate Rs 8,916 crore for the project. Urban mobility experts argue that road flyovers don't reduce congestion and instead encourage private vehicle use, whereas Metro expansion should be prioritised to strengthen public transport. A source said, "The issue of reimbursement of expenses incurred towards execution of the road flyover as part of the Metro project has been going on for a long time. In the recent meeting, the issue was discussed in the HPC. It was noted that the work has helped ease traffic congestion for vehicles heading towards Silk Board and for those crossing from there towards HSR Layout and Hosur Road. The urban development department will take up the matter with the finance department for reimbursement. " Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
